This weekend we went again to a Homeschooling Family Retreat about two hours away. WOW! What a refreshing experience! We prayed without ceasing all weekend, attended reverent Masses as a family, listened to holy priests, received the Sacraments, visited with other large families, and had the Franciscans of the Immaculate teaching the kids about the ten commandments. This was our second time attending this retreat for homeschooling families. The kids loved it so much (the praying and all) that they are already asking when we can go back again! For my kids, that is a ringing endorsement that they had a wonderful time.
If you can, I highly recommend making a family retreat. Spending all weekend together, without a TV, computer, or radio was very refreshing. It forces you to talk to one another and spend quality time visiting with each other. If you live near Indiana, I would recommend visiting http://www.maryschildren.com/MC-Retreats-Listing-FRS.htm . That is where we were this weekend. If you live near Illinois, I HIGHLY recommend visiting
www.sorrowfulmothersministry.org/. They have retreats every month and an annual conference we attend each year in October. They are wonderful, too. I wish we lived closer to either of these. God bless.
